An Everyday Story.
It is lamentable that the moral sense
of mnnkiml hikes so little aeeoiuit of
the rights of properly as regards hooks
anil umbrellas. Many people who are
in most respects excellent members of
society will borrow hooks without stint,
and if they do not return them minus
the covers, will keep them without com
punction, and when you hint that they |
have had them rather long, will mutter.
“Confound the fellow! does he think
! want to steal 1 1 is hooks?’’ 1 have had
differences with my best friends on this
score, and have been asked whether
1 had not better line every body who re
tained my valuable volumes beyond a
fixed lime, as if 1 were a village library.
Sueli insults have been borne with
meekness, because I have always re
membered with remorse how I once
revelled m the (bought of having made
away witli Johnson’s umbrella. The
laxity of the public morals in the mai
ler of umbrellas is truly a.vfnl, hut re
tribution will sometimes overtake him ‘
who plots against his neighbor’s para
chute. Let me tell how it overtook me.
A longtitnt*ago 1 was madly enamor
ed of Mary Jane Bowles. Si ary Jane
was what yon would call a pocket \ e
ntts. and often have I been tempted to
tuck her under my arm, like a packet
of sugar, and lly to the nearest desert
island. She was an artb s-girl, and very
fond of society- especially the society
of young men with whom I was not
on terms of anient friendship. I did
not blame her for this, and when she
invited me to tea, and 1 found that
Johnson had also been invited, my
discerning eye observed that this was
not coquetry. hut pure exuberance of
spirits. Mr. Bowles, I noticed, was of
the same opinion, and il was a great
satisfaction to me to have my judgment
confirmed hy so experienced a parent.
Mrs. Bow les, had she been alive, would
no doubt have agreed with us.
I had known Mary Jane since she
wore short frocks. Johnson had known
her about a month. It was pleasant to
hear her call me Sam and him Mr,
Johnson, hut somehow the familiarity
in my ease seemed to have lift'd n,,t
contempt —0 dear, no! nothing of (hat
kind -hut ti sort of nonchalance ( .|'
manner. (How useful the 1- t’eneh
language is when one wants to express
a very delicate shade of meaning.)
But that was her artlessness.
‘1 Pear me, Sam,” sin' observed, .at
the tea-table, ” what have you cot such
a long face for?"
Johnson’s attentions had made me a
little pensive.
“Something must he long to make
up for the nrevniling shortness," I
said.
Johnson was not much taller than
Mary Jane. I made a note of that sar
casm afterward. My impromptus are
t<o often lost.
“ Don’t he impertinent, sir! Look in
to that spoon. Vour face is exactly like
the reflection you see there—isn’t it, Mr.
Johnson ?”
lie grinned.
It was then I observed for the first
time the singular breadth of his vis
sago. His grin seemed to extend across
the room.
“If Mr. Johnson will hold the spoon
horizontally, he may admire Ins own
imago.’’ 1 remarked, playfully.
Johnson grinned again. Hu was
one of those insanely good-natured
men whom il is quite impossible to
annoy.
“Sam, yon are outrageous" -aid
Mary Jane. " Mr. Joints m and I are
going ro practice our duet. Yon step
here and talk to pa."
Mr Bowie- had to 1 .. aroused from
the doze into which he u.-ttally dropped
after t* a. i; wa- in that habit that my
penetration had detected his •nvic-;
ii"it that Mary Jam; was an ardent,
i feature.

and hadja very huli-tinet idea of what
the old gentleman said, and of what 1
was saying myself. 1 cannot sing, hut
it was not for that reason that 1 objected
to the preposterously operatic way in
which Johnson was conducting himself.
“ Tramways, my dear sir, are. as you
so justly observe, tin' chief scourge of
mankind. Front the earliest times they
have been noted for their hostility to
human virtue, and

: sang Johnson, up stairs.
| ” And it is. as you say, monstrous
that landed proprietors and bleated
householders should override the popu
lar protest in this matter, especially as
we know that for nni'pe-es of drainage
tramways are
“ My dear hoy. you are not well,” in
interrupted Mr. Bowles, kindly. ” Have
a glass of wife,"
When 1 left the house that evening 1
was thoughtful. It struck me that
Johnson had Mary Jane in his eye, 1
could not damage that organ of vision,
so 1 decided that nothing would he gain
ed hy hitting him, 1 wanted to marry
Mary Jane. Shi' was a charming girl,
i and her father had a little money.
My suspicions about Johnson were
continued next day. 1 met a lively
friend, who said;
" I), von know Johnson ?"
” Well?”
"He's going in for the little Bowles.
1 le told me he should pronose to her to
morrow night, when he takes her home
front Twig’s party."
“ Perdition !’’
" Kb? Slap-u’i-girl, isn't she? Thought
! you were sweet that way?”
j “ I’erd O. no, not tit all ! There's
my omnibus. By-hy !”
I Hoing to propose when he took her
home from Twig's! By till the pow-eTs,;
lie should not lake her home from j
Twig's!
It had been agreed that I should
escort Mary .lane to the halls of Twig.
It was ti line night apparently, hut 1
took my umbrella. Il was anew one,
surmounted hy an alligator's head in
Herman stiver. Fervently 1 invoked
Jupiter Plnvius to befriend me. and
hop al that John-on would leave hi' tun
hrella til home.
Il was le>s than ten minutes' walk,
hut there was time enough to show a
liltle preliminary tenderness, if not to
| put the grand question itself. With an
| artless girl like Mary Jane il was he.-l

laughing in her guileless way. “ I know

hut what did il matter?"
" Yes, Mary .lane," I said passionately.
“ And why did my nose scratch your

II was Johnson 1 saw his grin in the
moonlight, and -confusion! he had
hVought his umbrella.
There was a little dancing at Twig's,
hut I had no pleasure in it. My mind
was full of Johnson's ninhivlia. It
came before my diseased vision like
Macbeth's dagger. I clutched at it, and
i had it not.
Time wore on. 1 stood at the win
dow alone, and looked at the weather.
Heavy clouds obscured the moon.
I leavy drops began to fill. 'Then the
temptation had me in il- grip.
“ I iis umbrella !" 1 grasped. "I I'll
hide it.”
“ It’s a-going to he ti nasty night after
all." said a hated voice tit my elbow.
“ I helive only yon and I have brought
umbrellas. ’There'll he an awful scrim
age for cabs. I.uckilv we haven't far to
walk."
He wtts g; inning more than ever, hut
he could not have heard me. A cab
would not suit him, of course! He
wanted to walk home with Mary Jane,
slowly—very slowly, so that—frenzy !
would do the deed. 1 would throw his
umbrella—
“ <>, Siam, do take me down to re
freshments! I asked Mr. Johnson, hut
he has forgotten me."
She looked up into my face -o he
witehingly that my heart thumped as if
it were adoor-knpeker in the grasp ( ,f a

Victor Kmatmcl 11, king of Sardinia

Austrian from Italy and made it one
! nation under his rule. The disastrous ';

the abdication ofhis father iu ISI'J,)
I when the young Victor Kmanuel he
i came king of Sardinia. He negotiat*d
! a successful peace with Austria and at
once entered upon a eareer'of internal
reform, aided by his minister fount
favour, under who o ouliglilouod and
progressive iiilluoiieo ho remained tm
til the latter's death, audio whom tin
groat results which havo since boon
accomplished are lirst of all duo. Those
earlier schemes included the reorgani
/atiou of tho tiuauoos and the army,
the euriailmont of clerical privileges,
especially in the monopoly over edit
cation and 11 u' secularization of church
property. Tho king was oxoommum
oali and by the pope on account of these
proceedings. The foreign policy ol
favour was no loss far seeing and pro
duotive of great results to his sovereign
than that at homo. It first developed
in an alliance with Franco and Kngland
in the frimean war, which raised Sin
diiiia materially iu rank among Furo
j peau powers. The next step was the
war of Italian independence iu IS.V.i, in
which Sardinia and France joined
against Austria, and in which the king
took personal part and gained general
renown for gallantry m the held At
the battle of Sol lor mo lie was personally
opposed to the famous Austrian held
marshal lleuedek. whom he defeated
decisively. The peace of A illafr inea
gave him l.ombardy. France, how
ever demanded Savoy and Nice a-a
reward for his aid. The in xl y ear,
ISTiO, he annexed the northern duchies
m lof the Papal Stales, and the two
Sicilies, all of these having revolted
again.' 1 tin ir ruh rs, thr latter through
j the eth >rl -of *ei i ihaldi In March,

; title of king T Italy, and iu I S'id re
mov'd his capital hum Turin to Flor

territory from Austria was gained in
the annexation of Aeiietia after (he
seven week' war in alliance with Pins
'in, and m 1*7(1 the fall of l.oiiisNapo
loon gave him the long coveted oppor
Imiity to remove his capital to Home
Since that lime his (Hints have been
mainly directed to reforms ol the in

death of favour. The king’s lirst wife
was (In' Archduchess Adelaide of
